| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I looked up while taking my dog for some zoomies and saw this big light moving in the sky. Was sort of stunned and shocked watching it and was confused when it just suddenly disappeared after being extremely bright. I've never seen one before and I was thinking it to be odd for it to not have a trail? You think of shooting star or meteorite and it's always pictured with a glowy trail. Weird. I'd love to have some info about what I saw, if there is any :) thankyou |

| Remarks | It shot across the sky with no trail. Looked slow at first and as it got lower down it sped up, but stayed the same size, quite large. Then disappeared suddenly into nothing while still in full view of the area ahead of it in the sky. |
